Anatomy Of AGE Footwear

In AGE, the power of safety comes from quality. In order to achieve this we perform the following test in our laboratories and FDDI Technology Centre.

Whole Footwear	Upper	Outsole
Construction Toe protection general Toe cap length Impact resistance Compression resistance Energy absorption of seat region Upper / outsole bond strength Electrical resistance antistatic footwear	Tear strength Tensile strength Water absorption & penetration Water vapour permeability & coefficient pH value Lining abrasion resistance & pH Insole thickness Insole water absorption & desorption Insole abrasion resistance	Cleated area Thickness Cleat height Tear strength Abrasion resistance Flexing resistance Outsole / interlayer bond strength Resistance to fuel- oil Slip resistance Hydrolysis

Cordura

Cordura® a high-performance fabric resistant to abrasions, tears and scuffs.

2 x more durable than standart nylon
3 x more durable than polyester
10 x more durable than cotton canvas


Nylon after 1,000 cycles	Polyester after 700 cycles	Propylene after 650 cycles	Cotton duck after 300 cycles	Cordura after 3,000 cycles

Steel Toe Cap

At AGE Footwear, we use only ISI Marked / EN-345 steel toe caps. The steel toe cap is designed in such a way, that when integrated into the shoe system, it provides a "survival spaces" for the toes, keeping them safe and sound.

Steel Midsole

At AGE Footwear only stainless steel is used and shaped to ensure the maximum amount of protection is present to stop penetration of sharp object such as nails.

Footbeds

We use technically and specially engineered materials to ensure healthy walking day after day.

DDPU

This specially engineered foot bed is made from from two densities of Polyurethane, so that it can absorb all the shocks there all while maintaining its shape. Our DDPU foot bed has a moisture wicking top cloth and a special sticking line to aid conductivity so as to enhance the antistatic performance of the footwear. This foot bed has a soft rear part for soaking up the shocks found in everyday work, and a harder forepart so that is does not soak up energy that should be used for walking.

Polycarbonate Non-Metal Toe Cap

AGE footwear's non metallic range features a toe cap made from Polycarbonate. This material is ultra tough and extremely lightweight and often used in the production of bullet resistant windows and doors as well as being used for helmets and other PPE equipment. These toes cap have been developed and produced in our own factory to ensure ultimate quality.
